Why does Miel de Flores have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns points for energy and especially for sugars; with 74.3 g of sugars per 100 g, the product receives the maximum 15 points for sugar plus additional points for energy, leading to a total negative score of 19 and no positive points, which places it in the lowest grade E.

How does the high sugar content of this honey affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Consuming 100 g of this honey adds about 74 g of sugars, rapidly raising blood glucose levels, which can destabilize diabetes management, and although it contains no salt, the glycemic load may indirectly influence blood pressure in susceptible individuals.

Is flower honey suitable for diets such as vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

Flower honey is not vegan because it is produced by bees, but it is naturally gluten‑free, typically accepted in halal diets when sourced from permissible regions, and it is high in carbohydrates, making it unsuitable for strict keto regimens.
